3D Printing Of Precious Metals: UK Announces Initiative

[RedSox2013]

Printing of plastics and some metals have become somewhat common place in the DIY community, however what if you wanted to print out fine jewelry? Gold, Silver, Platinum, out of a 3D Printer? We may not have to wait too long. The UK has launched an initiative to create faster, cheaper ways to make precious metal jewelry via 3D Printing. With £212,000 and 5 partners the initiative was launched yesterday., calling itself the "Precious Project." More details on the project can be found here: http://www.precious-project.co.uk/index.asp

You can still create jewellery that looks like it was made out of metal. Check this 3D printed earring: http://www.3d2print.net/shop/blog/cool/clear-earrings/, which is purely made of clear Taulman T-Glase. Amazing right?
